i bought my 606 for $128 at city music
Have you tried out the Zoom606 yet? A personal experience of mine regarding the zoom606.
I bought a Zoom606 2nd hand partly because it was a cheap multi-effects pedal and i thought it was somewhat valued for money. Initially it sounded great (partly because I biased to a new gadget), but I soon realise that it sounded really bad,noisy and digital. ( I lost interest in playing for 1 week because I spent most of the time trying to get a good sound and fiddling around with it)
I got tired of tweaking around and I plugged my guitar directly to my amp. Boy, I suddenly realised how much I took my amp for granted. It sounded so much better comparatively to the Zoom606 sounds. The Zoom606 sucks all the tone out of your guitar. I played straight in from my amp and the difference was crystal clear.
Needless to say I sold my Zoom606 after 1 week and bought an OD-3. My advice to you: Filter out what sounds you really need and get 1 or 2 single stomp boxes. The price you pay for the zoom comes with a lot of other wierd bizarre sounds you won't be using very often :wink:
Regards.

ZOOM's multi FX pedals are value-for-$$ products, really, but their distortion patch is seriously lacking. if you insist on a budget multi-FX for experimental purposes, you'd do well to select from the KORG/ Digitech brand name.

funny....i guess i'm one of the few people who actually like zoom's distortion sound...i'm using gfx-4.....i've had some good feedback bout my dist sound during gigs(with different types of amps) though.... and they couldn't believe i was using a zoom product......well i guess diff people have diff taste......
Let me just add one more reason not to get the 505 or 606; construction quality.....play on it often enough and u'll realise the expression pedal gets sticky and the jacks would start to loosen......i actually went thru a 505 and 2 2nd hand 606 in my first 2 yrs of playing becoz of these problems
i would recommend the 707II if you're really on a budget. basically the 505II, 606 and GFX-1 are the same thing just that they have different mode of operation. they don't really a controllable EQ but rather a PRESET EQ for you to choose from instead of you tweaking it.
my friend uses a 707II with a dimarzio pickups which i've no clue what it is and it can produce really good metal tones. And yes, it will sound a little digital.
